"In this world, besides the ordinary environments, there are also some special locations," Ruan Ling said. "We can go take a look."
This was all information that Ouyang Qiu had shared with the captains, who then informed their subordinates.
In this world, there are also places similar to ruins, which may have mechanisms and formations, and of course, there could also be Mystical Weapons.
During the Championship, these places can be fully utilized to enhance the survival capabilities of one's Squad.
They can also lure opponents into formations that have already been controlled, achieving victory without fighting.
"But we also need to rely on luck; we don't know where these ruins are located, and we must be careful not to fall into traps set by others," Ruan Ling said while walking along the lakeside.
"Right now, we only have ten Squads; this world shouldn't be too large," Ziyu thought. "That means if there are ruins, there shouldn't be many of them."
With so few Squads, the world definitely wouldn't be large; otherwise, they wouldn't encounter each other at all. How would they fight... So Ziyu felt it was likely just two oases surrounded by a vast desert.
"Someone is coming," Ruan Ling gestured behind her, and everyone concealed themselves in the bushes.
A group was passing by; it was the Fourth Squad.
"There's someone over there too!" Ruan Ling noticed another Squad approaching from the opposite side.
"As expected," Ziyu had already prepared for this in her mind.
If Ziyu's thoughts were correct, this world was indeed small, and generally, people wouldn't want to stay in the desert for long. Therefore, the chances of encountering other Squads in the oasis were quite high, and clustering together was also a possibility.
"There is water nearby; if they come to drink, we will be discovered. In that case, it will be hard to avoid a battle," Ruan Ling whispered.
A three-way melee was about to unfold, but no one knew what it would look like.
"Are we going to take the initiative or wait and see?" Ruan Ling turned to her teammates, seeking a consensus.
"Let's take the initiative," Ziyu said. In this situation, it would be unfavorable if the opponent struck first; we should try to avoid being at a disadvantage.
"Alright, we'll take the initiative." The teammates nodded in agreement.
"Then let's assign roles. We're all from the same class and know each other, so I won't say much. Just find the role that suits you..." Ruan Ling said.
Ziyu formed hand seals again, and a powerful spiritual energy erupted around her, transforming into flames that enveloped her body.
"Flame Slash!" Ziyu and her nearby teammates unleashed their ranged Mystical Arts to attack!
Flame Slash is also a First-Level Mystical Technique, modified by the Empire after its original form.
After using Flame Slash, spiritual energy would swirl around her, then condense into a vortex at the center, ultimately transforming into a fire dragon that flew toward the opponent.
This was what Ziyu considered one of the most useful Mystical Arts in the fire attribute.
The fire dragon advanced alongside her, spiraling and twisting as it flew toward Ninety-Four.
"Shattering Ice Swordsmanship!" Ziyu's swordsmanship consisted solely of this technique, so she couldn't continue using fire-based attacks.
A faint cold light shimmered on the blade, and Ziyu's eyes reflected the shadow of the enemy ahead...
"There's movement over there!" Third Squad also noticed this side; they had originally come here to rest.
"Oh no..." Ziyu looked at another Squad rushing over from a distance, feeling a chill in her heart. Ruan Ling felt the same way. This Squad was Seventh Squad.
Everyone knew that the captains of the two opposing Squads were good friends. In situations like this three-way battle, it was certain that the two Squads would team up to attack Ruan Ling's Squad first.
As expected, with a command from the opposing team leader, the Squad joined the battle and teamed up with the Fourth Squad to launch a combined attack on the Ruan Ling Squad.
"Get lost!" Ziyu shouted, swinging the Residual Ice Sword forward, knocking the opponent back, then wielding the sword infused with Ice Spirit Power toward another side!
"Clang..." The sound of metal clashing rang out. Ziyu's palm went numb, but he couldn't stop; instead, he pushed forward, exerting force in the opposite direction to pull the sword back. The icy sword energy surged forth, detaching from the blade and flying out, exploding upon contact with the opponent not far away!
"Boom..." Since it was a direct confrontation, Ziyu's strength was greater than his opponent's, so Ziyu's attack severely injured them.
"This must be Ninety-Seven..." As a member of the Seventh Squad, he naturally recognized Ninety-Seven.
"This one is Ninety-Four." Ziyu turned to look at another enemy.
"Hmph..." Ninety-Four snorted coldly, turning to take off into the air.
"Trying to escape?" Ziyu leaped upward, enveloping himself in spiritual energy.
"Ziyu, be careful!" Ruan Ling's voice rang out. Ziyu quickly turned his head and saw that the leader of the Seventh Squad, who was fighting Ruan Ling, had seized an opportunity to launch an attack at Ziyu.
A colorful, spinning light beam with a diameter of twenty centimeters struck Ziyu while he was in mid-air, causing his chest to churn violently.
"Pfft..." Ziyu's body was scorched on the surface, but even more terrifying was the internal injury; this powerful impact exerted immense pressure on his organs. Ziyu was forced to spit out blood and was sent flying backward.
"Ziyu!" Lan Bing'er also noticed what was happening and immediately abandoned her fight to rush over to Ziyu.
"..." The intense pain in Ziyu's chest rendered him unable to make a sound. During the impact, he couldn't control his body; even his consciousness felt somewhat hazy.
"Ziyu!" Lan Bing'er quickly reached Ziyu's side just as her previous opponent's attack came rushing in...
"Bing'er, be careful!" Ziyu hurriedly warned, but it was already too late.
"Ah..." Lan Bing'er lost control of her body and collided with Ziyu, and the two were about to fall into the lake.
"Splash..." Just as they were nearing the water, the lake suddenly began to churn, and a massive whirlpool appeared on the surface, resembling a passageway.
"Is this a special location?" Ruan Ling wondered why the activation hadn't occurred when she had drawn water from the lake earlier.
"This..." Ziyu felt a surge of joy and pulled Lan Bing'er into the whirlpool.
There was no way this place could be deadly; such locations were usually filled with opportunities, so Ziyu was not worried at all and continued to dive in.
"Everyone, hurry up!" The others were not foolish either and rushed to follow.
"Splash..." The moment Ziyu entered, the lake surface immediately began to churn and a gray membrane formed on the surface, preventing anyone else from entering.
Underwater.
When the whirlpool disappeared, Ziyu and Lan Bing'er had not yet reached the bottom of the lake, but they were surrounded by a bubble.
"This is amazing; there must be something buried here," Ziyu said.
"Yes, this must be a treasure trove... and there's no one else chasing us," Lan Bing'er said with shining eyes, but then she blushed as she came back to her senses.
In that urgent moment earlier, Ziyu had pulled Lan Bing'er close, and even now, he had not let go.
"Uh... cough cough..." Ziyu noticed Lan Bing'er's unusual reaction and chuckled awkwardly before releasing his grip.
Ziyu did not want to develop any strange feelings for Lan Bing'er, but he still had to maintain contact with her. Among all his acquaintances at Mystic Practitioner Academy, Lan Bing'er was the one he knew best.
The two of them had no control over the bubble as it continued to descend.
"The lake water is actually suspended?" After the bubbles descended to a certain level, they reached beneath the water, which was surprisingly suspended, leaving a space below.
Of course, even underwater, this space was vast. Ziyu was currently overlooking the Ground from the Sky.
"This should be a formation. A massive formation," Lan Bing'er said.
In their view, the Ground was quite smooth, but there was a strange gully about the width of a person winding across the surface.
"These deep grooves must be the pattern lines of the formation. This formation is definitely enormous..." Lan Bing'er looked into the distance; since the Light wasn't very strong, it wasn't very clear.
"Uh... this is too big," Ziyu said helplessly as he gazed at the expanse. The lines showed no discernible pattern, just a small part of the formation.
"Clap..." Ziyu and Lan Bing'er landed on the Ground, and the bubbles that brought them here shattered and disappeared.
"We need to find a way to activate this formation," Lan Bing'er said. "However, there's a battle happening above us, so we shouldn't delay. We must act quickly."
"Okay, let's split up. There shouldn't be anything else appearing in this space," Ziyu agreed and flew off in two different directions with Ye Ling.
"If it's a place that controls the formation, it should be quite obvious," Ziyu looked around.
"Oh right, Mystical Arts," Ziyu suddenly thought.
Ziyu formed hand seals, and his spiritual energy constructed eight fireballs.
"Go!" Ziyu threw the eight fireballs in different directions, observing his surroundings.
"It seems like it's over there!" Ziyu felt a stir in his heart as he vaguely saw a Platform.
"Sure enough!" Ziyu was delighted; on top of the Platform was inscribed something that looked like a name: Nine Heavens Extermination Formation.
“Bing'er, come here!” Ziyu shouted, and Lan Bing'er rushed over upon hearing the call.
“What is this? Take a look and see how to use it,” Ziyu said, pointing at the Platform. Not to mention anything else, just the five characters “Nine Heavens Extermination Formation” made Ziyu feel that this was a formation, and it should be a very powerful one.
This Platform might be the eye of the formation, the central hub.
“How do you activate this?” Ziyu walked onto the Platform and looked around; there were no buttons or anything like that on the Platform, it seemed quite ordinary.
“Ziyu, you need to sit on it,” Lan Bing'er suggested. “After sitting cross-legged on top, start channeling your spiritual energy to impact this Platform.”
“Okay.” Ziyu replied and sat down.
Green spiritual energy began to swirl around, passing through Ziyu's body and making contact with the Platform.
“It’s reacting!” Lan Bing'er exclaimed in delight, as the Platform also began to glow.
“I can see outside, a heated battle…” Ziyu murmured. “If possible, I think I can activate this formation, and… its power is immense.”
At that moment, Ziyu felt as if everything was within their grasp.
